These delicious gluten-free Easter recipes are perfect for your holiday brunch, lunch, or dinner menu. Here's a selection of Easter meal ideas featuring traditional holiday favorites and fresh spring ingredients.
Easter means spring has arrived. There are so many fresh vegetables in season. Of course, on Easter, everyone thinks of main dishes like a delicious ham, roast turkey, or savory rack of lamb but don't forget about the important extras-appetizers, sides, and desserts that help your holiday meal feel so special.
Spring brings delicious fresh greens, tender baby carrots, little radishes and of course artichokes and asparagus. Mushrooms are also a seasonal favorite during this time of year. Deviled eggs, smoked fish, and shrimp are beautiful options for company-worthy starters or brunch treats.
Speaking of treats, what's an Easter meal without hot cross buns, carrot cake, and biscuits? Well, here are gluten-free Easter recipes for these delights and more! Whether you're planning an Easter brunch or ham dinner, your holiday table will be complete with these delicious dishes.
Easter Appetizers
Start your Easter meal off with a selection of these mouth-watering appetizers and small plate hors d'oeuvres. Many of these starters are ideal for brunch, lunch or dinner. Of course, deviled eggs are traditional, but the pinwheels of prosciutto with basil and the two-salmon tartare are elegant additions to your Easter menu.
